Ever search for something online, and then see an advertisement for it on your Facebook page the next time you go to look at your profile? Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
Facebook makes all of its' money off of advertisements. The main goal of any company is to make money, and Facebook is no exception. Facebook puts its' advertisements before its' members. Therefore, you , as a Facebook member, are privy to leaks in security in order to have more accurate and pinpointed ads. The social networking site actually gives out your private information to these advertisement companies and let's them use it.
You might say that this is all in the name of advertisement, but if Facebook is using your private information, that means this that this information is being stored in some sort of database. Imagine if this information was somehow leaked?
Now, I'm going to be honest, the possibility of your private information being leaked from a high class company such as Facebook is slim to none. But if you stop and think about it, the security problems with some social networking sites can be pretty scary.
How do you feel about the security with social networking sites such as Facebook? Do you think there's nothing wrong, or do you think some things could be fixed? Let me know what you think!
